Pacaha

Pacaha was an Indigenous polity of fortified villages in what is now northeastern Arkansas, named after the chief who ruled it in 1541. Its principal village on the Mississippi is thought to have stood at the Bradley site near present-day Turrell.

Hernando de Soto's expedition encountered Pacaha in 1541 and stayed at the chief's village for about 40 days. Archaeologists commonly associate the province with the Nodena phase of late Mississippian culture.
